"MONTE CRIsTO.n
James O'Nei,i and His Company
Give "a Mastery Production OF the
Popular MelO- ID ra ma at the q rand
Last Night.

1t was great house as well as great
performance at the Grand last night. An
audience that packed the opera house from
to gallery welcomed the return
after an absence of two years of the favor
ite young actor, James O'Neill, in his mas
terly impersonation of Edmund Dantes in
Monte Cristo." This delightful old
melo-drama has lost none Of its fascinating
charm. Its popularity is as great to-day as
the first time it was produced. While in a
sense it is extravaganza, still it is the
extravaganza Of true romance where
characters of fiction move in a
world Of their own, where they
have been elevated by a master stroke OF
genius. The intense effects and stirring in
cidents with which the drama abounds gives
splendid opportunity for the exhibition Of
superior histrionic art. And most superbly
was it handled last night. There has never
been finer impersonation of the hero OF
this great play than James O'Neill's inter-
probation of the title role last evening. He
possesses all the qualities to give it per-
feet Interpretation. young, handsome. of
fine physique, graceful yet dignified bear
ing, vigorous personality and dramatic
he is capable of shedding the ro-
mantle flavor upon the drama which be-
longs to it, The large audience was wildly
enthusiastic and gave Mr. O'Neill an
ovation that hasn't been given to an
actor in this city for long time now"
Mr. O'Neili is supported by an eXtraord-
inarily fine company. In a cast where
every member does exceptionally we'll it is
almost invidiOuS to give any special men

OF acting, and Miss Thorne. who filed the
role of Mercedes with graceful art. Miss
Grace Raven. who takes the character of
Mile Danglars, has only limited part. but
displays so much vivacity and speaks her
lines with such distinct enunciation as to
create desire on the part of the audience
that she had more to do. Lawrence Man
ning's Morrel was well-sustained part.
The scenery is an important part of the
performance and the stage had a brilliant
setting. The costuming was good and eX-
ceedingly appropriate. The same bill to-
